Blade System Integration Pack for MS SCOM 5

1 Introduction The PRIMERGY ServerView Suite from Fujitsu offers numerous ServerView integration modules which enable the PRIMERGY systems and the management software ServerView Operations Manager to be integrated easily into other enterprise management systems.

This manual describes Version 8.0 of the Fujitsu Software ServerView Blade System Integration Pack for MS SCOM, which enables PRIMERGY blade systems to be integrated into the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2012 (SCOM 2012).

The Fujitsu Software ServerView Blade System Integration Pack for MS SCOM allows the PRIMERGY blade systems from Fujitsu to be monitored via SCOM. The monitoring of a PRIMERGY blade system is implemented by using the monitors of hardware and software components and is displayed by means of icons.

When the MMB in the Blade Chassis detects errors while monitoring the Blade Chassis hardware and firmware, the errors are forwarded to the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor Service as SNMP traps. The Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor Service (referred to here as Blade System Monitor Service) writes these errors as event log entries to the event log FujitsuBladeSystemMMB on the local system. SCOM evaluates the event log entries according to predefined rules and displays them as alerts on the SCOM console.

Furthermore, rules can be applied which trigger an appropriate action when an error occurs, e.g. by sending an e-mail providing the hardware support with a description of the error.

Installation, configuration and uninstallation

3.3 Installing the Management Pack

Start the installation program SVISCOM-BL.exe on the system where the SCOM Console is installed and follow the instructions displayed during the installation process.

3.3.1 Installed files

The default installation path on the management station is as follows:

%ProgramFiles%\Fujitsu\ServerView Suite\SCOM Integration

I After installation has finished, it is necessary to restart the SCOM console to enable the environment variables which are used by console tasks (see section "Fujitsu Blade system Enclosure Tasks" on page 31).

I If one or more SCOM Consoles are installed on different computers than the management station, and you intend to use the ServerView Operations Manager console task, install the Management Pack on these computers as well (see section "ServerView Operations Manager (Server List)" on page 31).

I If other Fujitsu Integration Packs are also installed on the SCOM, the Management Packs folder may contain both the old ServerView Core Library (Fujitsu.ServerView.Library.mp) and the new ServerView Core Library (Fujitsu.ServerView.Library.mpb) after installation.

Please note that to install the new ServerView Core Library (Fujitsu.ServerView.Library.mpb) it is imperative not to also select the old ServerView Core Library (Fujitsu.ServerView.Library.mp) for import into SCOM. If both libraries are selected, SCOM will not import either of them.

3.3.2 Importing Management Packs

Management packs installed by the ServerView Blade System Integration Pack are located in the Management Packs folder within the installation folder. This folder holds all management packs from ServerView Integration Packs for System Center Operations Manager, and not just from the ServerView Blade System Integration Pack.

PRIMERGY Management Packs are imported in the usual way from the SCOM Console. All Management Packs can be installed simultaneously.

When the management packs have been imported, close the SCOM Console.

I To import the Management Packs, you need SCOM administrator rights.

3.4 Update to a new version

Update installation is not supported by the ServerView Blade System Integration Pack. The process is a full uninstallation of the old version followed by installation of the new version.

For how to uninstall the old ServerView Blade System Integration Pack, see section "Uninstalling ServerView Integration".

For how to install the new ServerView Blade System Integration Pack, see section "Installing ServerView Integration".

3.5 Updating the ServerView Library Management Packs

The ServerView Library Management Pack and the ServerView Image Library Management Pack are used and referenced by all Fujitsu ServerView Integration Packs for System Center Operations Manager.

Page 19: ServerView Blade System Integration Pack for MS …manuals.ts.fujitsu.com/file/10139/sv_in_bladesystem_scom-en.pdf · ServerView Blade System Integration Pack for ... \FTS-PS\INTEGRATIONEN+TOOLKITS\Integration_SCOM

Blade System Integration Pack for MS SCOM 19

Installation, configuration and uninstallation

I If a ServerView Integration Pack contains a newer version of one of the ServerView Library Management Packs, this new version can usually be imported into SCOM without affecting any other Fujitsu ServerView Integration Management Packs.

In the rare case that a new version of one of the ServerView Library Management Packs is not compatible with the old version, you must uninstall all Fujitsu Management Packs, including their Override Management Packs, and reinstall all Fujitsu Management Packs from the Management Packs folder together with the updated ServerView Library and ServerView Image Library Management Packs.

3.6 SNMP trap configuration

To enable the MMBs of the blade systems for receiving alerts from the blade systems, the MMBs must be configured to send traps to the proxy server where the Blade System is configured as SCOM Managed Blade Enclosure.

I All proxy servers must have the SNMP Trap service running.

I To allow the SNMP traps to be sent from the MMB to the proxy server, trap forwarding must be enabled on the MMB.

In the following is shown how to configure the SNMP Trap service via the MMB web interface. For more information, see the user guide for the relevant PRIMERGY blade system.

Proceed as follows:

1. Log on to the MMB of the blade system which is to be monitored, and switch to the settings for SNMP:

Figure 3: Configuring the SNMP Trap service

2. Under Destination IPv4 Address, enter the IP address (IPv4) or the fully qualified domain name of a proxy server as a new trap destination.

I Though the SNMP Trap service receives all traps, only traps with severity level CRITICAL or MAJOR are enabled in the management pack. All traps with severity level MINOR are implemented but disabled in the management pack. They can be enabled in the Authoring pane of the SCOM Operating Console (see section "SNMP traps, events and alerts" on page 33).

3.6.1 Testing the SNMP trap configuration (optional)

You have the option to test the trap communication between an MMB and the proxy server.

Proceed as follows:

1. Log on to the MMB of the blade system that is to be monitored and switch to the configuration settings for SNMP (see page 20).

2. In the SNMP Trap Destination pane, select the proxy server whose communication is to be tested.

3. Click Test.

4. Open the Server Manager on the selected proxy server, and open the Computer Management tool.

5. Navigate to the Event Viewer and expand the Applications and Service Logs folder:

Figure 4: Applications and Service Logs

6. Select the FujitsuBladeSystemMMB log.

7. Look for an log entry with Level = "Information" , Event ID = "1600" and Source = "Blade system MMB service".

If such an entry can be found, this indicates that testing the communication between MMB and the proxy server has been successful.

4 Features of ServerView Integration in SCOM

The Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Management Pack contains the definitions for the SCOM Integration. The management pack is defined by two files: Fujitsu.PRIMERGY.BladeSystem.mp and Fujitsu.PRIMERGY.BladeSystemService.mp.

4.1 Discovering and monitoring the Blade System Monitor Services

A Blade System Monitor Service is discovered if both of the following conditions are met:

– The Blade System Monitor Service is installed on a Windows server (proxy server, see section "Installing the Blade System Monitor Service" on page 14) and this server has been included in SCOM management (installed SCOM agent on the server to be monitored). This is displayed in the Windows Computers view.

– The Blade System Monitor Service has the correct version (8.0.x.x).

When a Blade System Monitor Service is discovered, it will be displayed in the Monitor Service State view (see section "Monitor Service State view" on page 29).

4.2 Discovering and monitoring the Blade System enclosures

Discover Blade system enclosures and their components requires the following steps:

1. Using the selection tool AddBladeEnclosureToSCOM.exe, define a list of blade system enclosures that you want to be managed (see section "Blade System Monitor Service configuration " on page 15). The list of managed blade system enclosures is displayed in the right column of the selection tool window.

2. If the Management Pack is imported, the blade system enclosures to be managed are automatically discovered by the SCOM.

4.3 Views

When integrating the management pack, a Blade System Enclosures directory is created under Fujitsu ServerView Systems directory in the Monitoring pane of the SCOM Console. The following views are displayed in this directory:

– Active Alerts– Blade Devices State– Components Health State– Connect Unit State– Enclosure state– Monitor Service State

The health state in all views is displayed by the usual health state icons of the Operations Manager.

4.3.1 Active Alerts view

The Active Alerts view displays all alerts which are assigned to the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Management Pack and which have the resolution state New.

The following causes can trigger an alert:

● If a monitored blade system or a blade system component is in a critical health state.

This alert is auto-resolving, i.e. as soon as the cause is resolved, the alert is no longer displayed in the view.

● An event for which a rule is defined in the Management Pack is written in the Windows Event Log of a proxy server. The event may be displayed in the following Windows Logs:

– Application and Services Logs / FujitsuBladeSystemMMB

– Microsoft / Operations Manager event log

These alerts continue to be displayed until they are explicitly closed.

I For an overview of the alerts created by rules from events, see the document PRIMERGYServerEventsSCOM_en.pdf, which comes with the product.

I By default, alerts are only generated by events which have been entered in the Windows Event Log (Operations Manager or System) with severity level Critical (Error). Events with severity level Warning can also be displayed if they are enabled by the user (see section "Authoring pane - Enabling and disabling alerts" on page 38).

the health of the monitored objects. The monitors are not only used for evaluating the overall health state of a blade system but can also be used for failure analysis.

Example

When the overall state of a blade system indicates an error, the error state is displayed in the Enclosure State view. By selecting the affected blade system and clicking on Health Explorer, the SCOM Health Explorer opens and an extract of the monitor hierarchy is displayed. By default, only those monitors are included which are responsible for propagating low level health states to the overall health state. It is thereby possible to trace back the propagation of an error state from the blade system overall state to those component(s) which caused the error (see the figure below).

Figure 5: Tracing back the propagation of an error state

The ServerView Blade System Integration Pack includes numerous monitors whose purpose is not only to model the health state of the target objects but also to indicate the health state of the monitoring system itself. You therefore will be informed when a component of the monitoring system fails which means that the health state of the monitored blade system or individual parts of it cannot longer be evaluated. The monitors indicating the health states of the monitoring system here are named "monitoring monitors". These monitors form their own monitor hierarchies. An error of the monitoring system affects both the Monitor Service overall states and the Enclosures overall state (see section "Monitor Service State view" on page 29 and section "Enclosure State view" on page 29).

4.4.3 ServerView Remote Management

This task is used to call the console of the MMB web interface by using its IPv4 address (if available).

I This function works only if the https port is configured with the standard port number 443 for https ports.

4.5 SNMP traps, events and alerts

As described in section "SNMP trap configuration" on page 19, the MMB of a blade system sends SNMP traps to a proxy server. The Blade System Monitor Service converts the SNMP traps to events which appear in the FujitsuBladeSystem event log of the proxy server.

In the Fujitsu ServerView Blade System Integration Pack, there are rules defined for events which trigger an alert. Alerts remain visible in the Active Alerts view until they are explicitly closed i.e. until they are assigned the resolution state Closed. Events and alerts are independent from monitors and have no influence on the status of the server. They are used only to display an event.

An overview of the integrated events is provided in the file PRIMERGYServerEventsSCOM_en.pdf, which is located in the installation folder.

I Only events with severity level Warning or Critical are integrated.

– An SNMP trap with severity level Critical or Major is mapped to a Windows event with severity level Critical.

– An SNMP trap with severity level Minor is mapped to a Windows event entry with severity level Warning.

Enabling / disabling alerts

By default, all events with severity level Critical generate an alert, and all events with severity level Warning do not generate an alert. You can change these default settings by overriding them in the Authoring section of the SCOM Console. The overrides must then be stored in a Management Pack which is writable.

Blade System Integration Pack for MS SCOM 37

Working with ServerView Integration in SCOM

5.1.2 Precautions when overriding the settings for the monitoring interval

The IntervalSeconds parameter determines the time interval of the SCOM monitoring cycle (see table 3 on page 36). The parameter value is optimized for monitoring Blade System Enclosures.

I Normally, it is not necessary to modify this value and it is urgently recommended not to change the IntervalSeconds parameter. If modifying of the IntervalSeconds parameter is essential though, the precautions described below should be taken.

5.1.2.1 Pairwise change of health monitors and monitoring monitors

The Blade System subsystems and Blade System components are monitored by a pair of monitors:

– The <subsystem> Health Monitor indicates the status of the monitored subsystem or component.

– The <subsystem> Monitoring Monitor indicates whether the monitoring system itself works without failures.

If the parameter IntervalSeconds is changed, it must be changed both on the health monitor and the monitoring monitor of a Blade System subsystem or Blade System component. The IntervalSeconds parameter value must be always the same for both types of monitors.

5.1.2.2 Recommended values for the IntervalSeconds parameter

The default value of the IntervalSeconds is 360 seconds. If changed at all, the value should be increased.

I it should be strictly avoided to operate with monitoring intervals shorter than 360 seconds.

5.1.2.3 Overriding related parameters of the monitoring monitor

The override parameters IntervalSeconds, ConsolidatorCount and ConsolidatorTimeWindow are interrelated and should not be changed individually. If one of these parameters is changed, the remaining parameters must be adjusted in a way that the following conditions are met:

– ConsolidatorTimeWindow = IntervalSeconds * ConsolidatorCount + 120

– IntervalSeconds Ï 360

– ConsolidatorCount Ï 2

5.2 Authoring pane - Enabling and disabling alerts

By default, all events with severity level Critical generate an alert, and all events with severity level Warning do not generate an alert. You can override this default setting.

Each alert can also be detected by means of its title and its Event ID in the PRIMERGYServerEventsSCOM_en.pdf file, which contains detailed information on each event and how to solve the underlying problem.

Proceed as follows:

1. Start the SCOM Console.

2. In the navigation window of the Authoring pane, select the Management Pack Objects - Rules directory. All rule groups defined in SCOM are then displayed in the right-hand window.

3. Select the Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service and then click on the alert which is to be enabled or disabled.

I The Enabled by default column displays whether an alert is generated for the event concerned (Yes) or not (No). Alerts which have not been enabled can also be recognized from the grayed-out icon in the first column.

4. Double-click the required alert. A dialog box containing the settings opens.

5. In this dialog box, go to the Overrides tab, click Override... and select For all objects of type: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service.

The Override Properties dialog box opens which contains the properties to be changed.

6. To enable or disable the alert, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Enabled parameter in the Override column.

2. Change the value of the option in the Override Settings column (False → True or True → False).

The overrides must be stored in a writable Management Pack. Microsoft recommends not to use the Standard Management Pack. You can create a new Management Pack by choosing New.

7. Click OK to save the settings in the selected Management Pack. The dialog box is closed

8. Click Close in the subsequent dialog box for the monitor to terminate the configuration of settings.

I Analogously, you can enable or disable alerts for individual servers. In this case, select For a specific object of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service instead of For all objects of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service. You can then select the required proxy server(s) and proceed as described above.

5.3 Authoring pane - Changing time settings for object discovery

The time period for discovering components of blade system enclosures set by default.

To change these default settings, it is recommended to proceed as follows:

1. Start the SCOM Console.

2. In the navigation window of the Authoring pane, select the Management Pack Objects - Object Discoveries directory. All discovery rules defined in SCOM are then displayed in the right-hand window.

3. In the Object Discoveries window, select the object discovery you want to change.

I For discovering blade system enclosures, this is the group Discovered type: Blade System Enclosure with the entry Blade System Enclosure Discovery Rule.

4. Double-click the required entry. The Blade System Enclosure Discovery Rule Properties dialog box opens.

5. Select the Overrides tab, and click Override... there.

6. Depending on the change you want to make, select either For all objects of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service or For a specific object of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service:

– If you select For a specific object of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitor Service, the override is carried out only for a specific proxy server.

– If you select For all objects of class: Blade System Enclosure Monitore, all discovered proxy servers are offered for selection. Select the proxy server(s) and click OK.

You can select the required override in the Override Properties dialog box.

I Microsoft recommends not to use the Standard Management Pack to save your changes.

7. To change the time period for the discovery, select the corresponding entry in the Override column.

I You can only change the values containing numbers in the Override Value column.

Enter the new time period (in seconds) for the discovery in the Override Value column (parameter name: Fujitsu PRIMERGY BladeSystem Enclosure DiscoveryDataSource Interval Seconds)

I Microsoft recommends not to use a time interval less than 4 hours for discoveries.

8. Click OK to save the settings in the selected Management Pack. The dialog is closed.

9. Click OK in the subsequent dialog for the monitor to terminate the configuration of settings.

6.1 Creating log files

For error analysis, log files of the SNMP Trap Collect Service can be created. The Blade System Integration Pack provides three types of log files:

– Discovery log files providing debug information about the SCOM discovery process

– Monitoring log files providing debug information about the SCOM monitoring process

– Blade System Monitor Service log files providing debug information generated by the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor

6.1.1 Discovery and monitoring log files

Discovery and monitoring logs are enabled via an initialization file with the name SVISCOM-BL.Log.ini. This file resides in the installation directory (see section "Installed files" on page 17).

The log files are stored in the subdirectory SVISCOM\SVISCOM-BL of the directory entered in the system environment variable TEMP. Usually, this is the C:\Windows\TEMP directory. Here, C: represents the system partition.

If the subdirectory SVISCOM\SVISCOM-BL doesn’t exist, the following applies: For each SCOM discovery, a copy of the initialization file with the name SVISCOM-BL.Log.in_ is generated in the %TEMP%\SVISCOM\SVISCOM-BL folder of each proxy server.

SVISCOMLog.ini contains debug options for all discovery and monitoring features of the management pack. The option DebugMode defines whether monitoring for a specific feature is to be activated. The option DebugLevel defines how detailed the debug information is provided.

In case of an error analysis, proceed as follows:

1. On each proxy server, rename the SVISCOMLog.in_ file to SVISCOMLog.ini.

2. Check the debug options for each feature (discovery and monitoring) to be monitored and set them to the desired value.

Example: Settings in the file SVISCOM.BL.Log.ini

[BladeSystemDiscovery]

DebugMode=yes

DebugLevel=15

[BladeComponentsMonitor]

DebugMode=yes

DebugLevel=15

The following log files are created as desired:

– PYBladeSystemDiscovery_<servername>.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_ConnectUnits.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_Enclosure.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_FanUnits.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_KVMUnits.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_MMBUnits.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_PowerSupplyUnits.l

og– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_ServerBlades.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_StorageBlades.log– PYBladeSystemMonitor_<enclosureserialnumber>_TempSensors.log

These files must be sent to the Fujitsu Support for further analysis.

To disable the creation of log files again, delete or rename SVISCOMLog.ini.

Currentness of log files

Log files are generated promptly only if the initialization file is available and the Fujitsu Management Pack is already imported. If the management pack is already imported, log files are generated depending on the execution interval of the discovery or monitoring scripts. Thus, it may take up to 4 hours until all log files are generated.

6.1.2 Blade System Monitor Service log files

The log files of the Blade System Monitor Service are stored in the log subdirectory of the installation folder of the Blade System Monitor Service on a proxy server.

By default, the Blade System Monitor Service log file stores only few information. For creating extended log files of the Blade System Monitor Service, you can modify the PRIMERGYBladeSystemConfigSNMP.xml configuration file. This file is located in the config subdirectory of the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor Service installation folder (see section "Installed files" on page 14).

To modify the Blade System Monitor Service log files, proceed as follows:

1. Edit the file PRIMERGYBladeSystemConfigSNMP.xml with a text editor (e.g. Notepad):

In the <LogFile> ... </LogFile> section, set the value <Threshold><old_value></Threshold> to <Threshold><new_value></Threshold>, where value must be one of the following:

– ERROR (default)– WARN– INFO– TRACE

With INFO you get more information messages, and with TRACE you get additional DEBUG outputs.

2. Restart the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor Service for the modified values to take effect.

I To disable the creation of Blade System Monitor Service log files, reset the value <Threshold><value></Threshold> to the initial value <Threshold>WARN</Threshold>WARN and restart the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Blade System Monitor Service.
